A day in the garden: help Ganesh in Thiruvananthapuram

Ganesh, 80, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

Thiruvananthapuram
I'm 80 and I have lived in this house in Thiruvananthapuram for 42 years. After the storm in September, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of a recent fall. The council has told me it will be six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
